Here are a couple Black Gum trees starting to show their fall color.  They are generally the first to show fall color.  I love it when they turn red.  The trees can grow as tall as 60 feet, but in our area most of them are much shorter.  

 

Be on the lookout:  if you see some shiny red leaves among the greens, it might be Black Gum, Nyssa sylvatica.  

 

 

HAPPY ALMOST FALL!!!
